Abstract: As an institution serving “the youth of Maryland of the colored race,” the evolution of Princess Anne Academy as a land grant school depicts the problems and successes of the early black land grant schools of the South. It responded to the prevailing economic and social forces of its time. Despite the rhetoric of the federal 1890 Land Grant Act, Princess Anne Academy, like other 1890 schools, did not enjoy the equal financial support accorded the 1862 schools. A hostile community and an indifferent legislature prevented Princess Anne Academy from actively participating in the educational life on the Eastern Shore. Copyright Kluwer Academic Publishers 1992
